Night riverboat cruise in Okayama
Every Saturday in September and October, visitors can enjoy a serene nighttime riverboat ride in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture. A singing boatman guides the punt — a craft traditionally used to ferry goods — along the Kurashiki River, providing passengers with a unique view of the Edo period Bikan townscape.
